#we've had on and off plumbing issues for like 2 months now & this is why. so#no clear reason why probably just. you know age and wear. uk sewer system's old and garbage#my parent & I have had flu also which I still have a lingering cough/feel tired from#anddd we haven't been speaking to my grandparents (who we prev saw like. once a week) for about the same length as the plumbing issue#after they did something pretty selfish and thoughtless and are the type too proud to apologise/want everyone to move on#so now we're at a stalemate bc we're still hurt and it's like. even if we do move past it#I still view them differently now. you know? family disappointing you really leaves you feeling empty#I already went nc with my other parent in 2019 cause they suck and then my dog died in 2020#just feel like I'm slowly running out of people in my immediate circle esp with pandemic limitations#and this is just like. a whole thing now on top of the existing energy crisis to worry about#also someone stole our recycling bin LMAO like I put it out for collection a few days ago and now it's just gone dk where it is#which is not that big a deal you can just order another for free but it's like. why'd you have to do that man#I want to be grateful for what I've got knowing people are living through warzones and famine rn but like#I'm very weak and things mess me up easily I won't lie#that information only makes things worse. I mean each year everything just gets worse around the world.#it's already blisteringly hot each summer I just don't feel very. hopeful about anything anymore#I've just been really depressed#I guess the good thing is not caring about anything means I don't even particularly care about venting this online lol#it's hard to feel any cringeworthiness or insecurity over anything when you're not feeling anything at all

pls pls pls i need some flashspruce headcanons, idc what they're abt i just NEED
i've been on the verge of insanity lately
this is so real and honestly your insanity brought back mine so thank you
i feel like part of the reason i've kinda fell off my eqg soapbox is bc i felt like i've said all i've ever wanted to say abt them, but i don't think i have actually! if you do not mind me repeating myself occasionally:
between flashspruce, flash has the most experience with boys despite having realised his attraction to them later than timber did. this is mainly because flash is surrounded by more boys because high school, the maths is pretty simple
timber, on the other hand, had a more complicated relationship with sexuality because his gender was doing all sorts of funny things. he had an idea that he was pan (of course, he didn't have the words for it yet) but he was never sure if he was romantically interested in boys or just admired them so obsessively he wanted to be one. as timber grew into his teen years he realised it was both lol
timber hides this with his confidence but flash can see right through it because he's dealt with boys like this before when they've hit on him previously (though they're never quite as cute as timber is. pretty privilege i tell ya)
when they're friends, they have this specific dynamic that idk how to explain (the closest i can think of is hyung-dongsaeng in korean culture), but essentially it's this feeling of wanting to dote on your friends that are younger than you (even if it's just by months). that's how flash treats timber in the early stages – flash finds out he's older than timber by a few months and now he cannot think outside of timber = baby
timber loves the mane 7 but if flash is tagging along with their hangouts (which is usually the case, timber only rarely hangs out with them as a group by himself), he's very clingy and has his arm hooked with flash's. flash finds it adorable, especially when timber refuses to let go in public
i see 2 ways in which they can go from friends to lovers; either it's very natural and it doesn't feel like anything's changed, OR they've reached a breaking point where they're just seconds away from devouring each other. sunset says that sometimes flash looks at timber like he will leave bite marks on the guy if he doesn't stop whatever he's doing (existing). both are good i'd say
timber has always filmed little candids of flash when they start being friends, mainly on his phone but whenever they're out by themselves, he brings his fancy camera out. flash doesn't know this, mainly because timber doesn't show him out of embarrassment, but you can really tell the person who filmed the videos loves their muse
flash sends over lyric docs whenever he feels like it and usually these are without any context, literally no "hello" or "how are you", just [text].doc and timber's like ???. but then timber reads them and is like sad™. timber's never admitted to this, and it'll take him a while to do so, but there have been certain lines in flash's lyrics that had him crying. how many chances do you get in life where your muse considers you their muse too?
flash sometimes buys timber books that he's read just so timber can also read them and then freak out the same way he did. most of the time timber's reaction is "why would you make me read this i am now clinically insane" which was exactly flash's goal
i would try to debate who would be the pathetic lover between flashspruce but there is no answer to that bc they are both equally pathetic in their own ways sorry loverboys
flash actively joins timber when he goes to get more wood just so he can see timber in a tanktop and an axe but flash will deny this every step of the way
timber can't say anything though bc man does this as well during the summer months when the flash drive are performing at bars; flash is Not about to wear leather in this weather and timber's gonna enjoy every moment of it
and yeah flash teaches timber the guitar bc what is he if not a lover of music and queer rockstars (he thinks timber could make a really cool queer rockstar if not for the fact he would steal a million of girls' hearts in one second and a smile)
these two make me want to chew a wall. dead serious
(i see your ask about flash, i will get to that soon i promise 🫡)

I love your Sector V middle/high school hcs. Can you make one for their TND years? Keep it up!❤️❤️❤️
sector v if they had joined TND
au in which nigel did join the gknd, and abby took over as sector v’s leader yippee abby!!!
omg yes !!! my first request :000 u are so sweet thank you!!! 💚💚 i love writing these so enjoy :>
Tumblr media
- i hc that numbuh 362 is in on the recruitment process when it comes to the TND, she is supreme leader after all. she learns all about it after nigel leaves
- and because i hc that after nigel, hoagie is the oldest, he absolutely GEEKS OUT when he is recruited. he fangirls the ENTIRE TIME
- and because he has to stay away from the tree house, the group will meet in different spots every time
- in canon they all are aware that the TND exists so, it wasn’t really a secret that they were going to be part of that recruitment. after all it was promised that sector v would still be there for nigel once he returned! it’s pretty obvious that numbuhs 2 through 5 aren’t gonna be let go so easily :P
- and they’re all always like tell us tell us ! and he keeps them on their toes
- like he goes on and on “HA i’m special i’m the first recruitment in this sector my lips are sealed i don’t even know u guys!!!!” drama queen 😒
- eventually when they all are recruited they are like wtf it wasn’t even that special of a thing whyd you gas us up like that LOL
- because the old treehouse WAS on top of nigel’s house, i headcanon that a new sector doesn’t take over it. and it just becomes a lot smaller and secluded, like on the outside it looks like a regular shed and a small old tree house, when there’s SO much more. it’s an underground type of thing
- rachel makes it seem like it’s a tribute to sector v to cover for them (shoutout to rachel fr!!!) because it still is significant for everyone , even if the entire sector was “decommissioned”
- but nope that baby is still there for the new TND members. just no where near as visible as it once was. the secrecy i know!!!
- and yeah the renovations were SUPER annoying (wally must have complained about his lack of sleep 100 times bc of all the noise) but it was worth it in the end. the treehouse becomes a little more modern and comfortable for them to do their own things. and the technology only becomes more advanced
- and they get older our babies😢the maturing takes everyone by surprise kind of, especially wally’s, ugh he gets a growth spurt in the summer leading up to freshman year and it leaves everyone saying wtf. but they do have their flare ups of childishness bc let’s be honest, we know them, how could they not!! cue the bickering between wally and kuki plz!
- wally finds a passion for soccer and he’s really good at it. he’s missed a few team meetings bc of soccer though…. which always results in a lecture from abby LOL but they all go to support him at his games
- at his important games, they all make signs cheering him on, and omg does this annoy him LOOLL
- they all even wear his team’s colors, kuki buys face paint to paint his jersey number on their cheeks. she’s probably his biggest fan 🤫
- kuki finds this love for makeup , “typical girly teen behavior!” wally will tease, but she’s actually really good at it!
- sometimes in mid mission kuki will have the most glittery-colorful eyeshadow on because she was practicing before the call!😭
- hoagie let’s her practice a lot on him, and i would be lying if i said he hasn’t shown up in battle with some variation of eyeliner on
- and when abby wants her makeup done for any reason, kuki is the first to be there!
- sure the team doesn’t go on as many missions as they did before , but the missions they DO go on are usually long and exhausting. the break they get after is always treasured by our lazy teens
- abby gets super into skin care and just self care overall! she will have the entire day off after a mission as a self care day. and kuki will always join her! even the boys get curious but don’t wanna admit that😒
- one day they cave and they all watch a movie wearing their face masks. cute !!! i just know wally had the face mask that you peel off and that shit IRKED HIM😭 kuki pinned his hair back and they had a moment but it’s ruined after when she tries to rip off his face mask LMFAO
- hoagie joins the auto mechanics club in highschool. and wow is he talented with that. it only helps him further develop technology for the TND. oh and when that boy gets his license ? he does the MOST with his beat up van😭
- i would not be shocked if that boy installed a whole ass xbox in the back of that van
- these 4 ditch class a LOT for missions . they have occasional saturday-detentions 😞
- and even then because kuki, hoagie, and abby, are such loved students they find a way out. the hard part of that is convincing the teacher to let wally out LMFAOO
- tell me how they get called in for battle mid-saturday detention and kuki fakes a scene to leave
- her doing theatre throughout all of middle school and even highschool PAYS OFF this girl starts sobbing on the floor like someone just died😭so the teacher has no other choice but to let the four go
abby: guys wtf i just got a text from maurice. we need to be up at base in the next hour
wally: don’t ask me this dick won’t even let me go use the bathroom
abby: wally boy if u don’t stop making ur texting so obvious right now
hoagie: he won’t leave the room, there’s no way i can create a diversion
kuki: watch this! :D
- this girl screams and pretends that she just got the worst news of her life. and oh my god her fake crying? you would actually believe it if she said the world was ending
- in middle school these 4 were awful with keeping the TND a secret 😭 i just know they would screw up all of their different excuses
- why wasn’t hoagie in class? well he said that he was in the nurses office. oh but the nurse didn’t see him? and wasn’t that just him walking down the hallway with abby lincoln? but she got picked up early today? and why is kuki sanban trying to leave the nurses office after complaining that she threw up? she said that she was looking for her friend wally because they were carpooling home today. but where is wallabee? his teacher said he got called to the office 2 hours ago??????
- but once highschool comes the whole sneaking out thing gets a lot easier when it’s needed. hoagie gets his license first and wow he can just dip whenever he wants to. and in highschool, u can sneak off anywhere. especially with as big as a campus as Gallagher High. everyone ditches class at some point 🤷🏼‍♀️
- even these 4 get the urge to ditch when things aren’t mission related. senior year, they are OUT god does the senioritis kick in with them 😭 especially wally and kuki, those lovebirds. that boy will find any and all reasons to leave early. and he’s passing all of his classes, what’s stopping him tbh
- like the 4 plan a theme park day on a random wednesday in the middle of the month 😭 i’m telling you, they have their fun when they can
- with the workload they have on them because of the TND, this group enjoys whatever time they can have :) especially with one another

Janine x Egon Wedding Questions
(This is for The Real Ghostbusters versions of the characters)
(also i'm gonna tag @ariel-seagull-wings bc they wanted to see my answers to this lol)
Imagine what music they would have? What food? Would it be outside? What kind of theme, if any, would they have?
I imagine Egon would want only classical music while Janine would be like PARTY!!! Lol she would still want the classic organ music as she’s walking down the aisle though, and at the reception they would have a combo, like they would start with classical and then go into more like dance music as the night went on. They would have their wedding in this amazing greenhouse venue in Brooklyn with this incredible ceiling. No theme, the venue is the centerpiece. 
Tumblr media
The food would also tie in to the venue as they have a lot of fresh and light fruits and veggies (and mushrooms) for the cocktail hour and an amazing seasonally-appropriate salad before the main course.
Who would they invite?
Okay so Egon was definitely having like, a whole crisis about this bc his family is pressuring him to like, invite all these important figures from the scientific community and “uphold the reputation of the Spengler family within these prestigious circles” and whatever and Egon just wanted a small wedding but the guest list just keeps getting bigger and bigger and its so hard for him to ever say no to any of his family and it was like… 
It was Janine who encouraged him to advocate for himself and stand up for what he wants out of his big day bc she was not having all those stuffy scientific types at her party absolutely not
In the end, it was a celebration with extended family and close friends and louis who always ends up at janine and egon’s wedding no matter the circumstances of the occasion for some reason
jk louis is a close friend and we love and respect him is this house
Also Ray is Egon’s best man and Janine’s sister is the Maid of Honor
What season is it? Day or night? What colors do they wear?
It is a summer day (August 2nd, 1993), bright and sunny but luckily not too hot. The only other color beyond the natural green of the surroundings is the pink of the bridesmaid’s dresses and burgundy of the groomsmen’s ties.
Is it traditional or do they do something wild?
Traditional! It’s the wedding Janine has been dreaming of since she was a little girl (along with her Jewish wedding ceremony, which she had first). 
Did they write their own vows? Who is the person marrying them?
Because this is going to be the secular wedding (even though it has a lot of things based on Christian wedding traditions ik)  they wouldn’t have any religious figure marrying them. They would just get, like, a professional wedding officiant who just fits their vibe yk? And it was important to Janine that they write their wedding vows bc… she just needs to hear it, okay? She cannot just have Egon say “yeah, mmm-hmm” to whatever the officiant says, she needs to hear Egon say how much she means to him and we’re all gonna make him do it
Are they wearing suits? Dresses? Something else entirely?
Okay here’s the fun part FINALLY
Janine’s dress: 
Tumblr media
Bridesmaid’s dresses:
Tumblr media
Egon’s suit:
Tumblr media
This means ray gets to wear his pea soup green suit that he already owns!!! Groomsmen’s suit:
Tumblr media
What does their cake look like if they have one?
Tumblr media
Does she throw the bouquet for someone to catch or does she pass out one flower to everyone to let everyone know they are worthy of love?
Janine definitely wants to throw her bouquet! Even though two of her bridesmaids are already married (her older sister, and her bff Violet who married Egon’s bff Ray last year)
Do they have a party afterwards? What music?
Yes!!! Yes they do!!! And the music is an eclectic mix of Egon’s classical music (with a live string quartet) and Janine’s playlist of party music with artists like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper (with a live DJ)
She also has a reception dress!:
Tumblr media
Is it the wedding of their dreams or does something go awry?
Janine is too rich now for something to go awry
Also! How is the kiss!? Do they smooch softly? Sweetly? Passionately? Does he dip her into a deep smooch? Is it a soft sweet peck?
The kiss we’ve all been waiting for tbh
Very sweet and romantic. She puts a hand on the back of his neck while he holds her waist. He’s been mostly expressionless through the ceremony but he smiles as he kisses her, the softie
What is their honeymoon like? Is it a stay at home one? Do they go somewhere exciting? How long is the trip? Or stay at a hotel? Or maybe a cute little cottage somewhere?
They go to Cairo, Egypt! I feel like it’s the perfect mix of what they would both want out of a honeymoon. It’s an exciting city that’s got an ancient history and culture attached to it (egon is gonna study so many hieroglyphs you don’t even KNOW)
Does she take his last name or him hers? Do they keep or hyphenate their names? Or maybe they both take on a whole new last name together!
But they would have to change the name tags on the uniforms…
How many kids do they have? What are their names?
This is where it gets sketchy cuz fankids are a whole nother thing that I haven’t thought of yet for janegon but I DO know that they have a kid about one year apart from Violet and Ray’s oldest kid and they’re both boys and they’re besties who go on adventures together (the violet/ray kid is the timid one and the janegon kid is the bold one, you get where i’m going with this)
Where do they live?
In a penthouse apartment in Manhattan, where Janine can have space to write editorial articles for the magazine she created and runs, Egon can get to Ghostbusters HQ without too much trouble (even though he’s not part of the field team anymore he works on R&D with Ray out of there almost every day).

Twin 👀🎶 where have you been 🎶🎶
You requested and I came/lh
This is less like a list and more like general thoughts I guess, but what do you associate the bts boys with? Like colors or songs specifically. Cause I always associate Joon with blue or like a forest green and Hobi with rainbow colors fr. I always also associate mf doom with Namjoon tho (I could go on about this and about bts individual rap influences but that’s for another day 🙃/lh)
But girlie how have we been? I hope you’ve been doing good 🫶
looolll twiiiinnnnn i’ve been good i think im a sleepy girlie all the time bc i wake up so early everyday but i’ve been well!! thank you for always askiiinnnggg 💞 and thanks for asking this question bc i love it omg
as for colors i don’t even know if there’s like a specific color i put them with personally i think i just go by their mic colors LOL
so joonie blue, hobi red, tae green, jk purple, yoongi black, jin pink, and jimin yellow although do i see jimin as yellow???? maybe white???? undecided on that front
as for songs tho hmmm
i know for sure earlier i was listening to for all the dogs again right and another late night came on and i was like oh i know me and tae would be vibing to this also idgaf with yeat like we would get down so bad to those songs fr but also! whenever i’m listening to like laufey or d4vd or any of those like alt pop jazz type songs i think of tae [another late night // drake ft. lil yachty | this is how it feels // d4vd ft. laufey]
when it comes to hobi like whenever i listen to j cole i think of him for obvious reasons LOL but also okay so during hobis birthday live in 2021??? he was wearing that blue and green sweater it was like a field and it had clouds on it anyway during that live he was playing all the r&b girlies so whenever i listen to like sza or summer walker mariah the scientist MUNI LONG 👀 i think of him like i just know he get it [no role modelz // j cole | love galore // sza ft travis scott]
so for joon i specifically remember him like live updating us on his listening progress when donda dropped so kanye and joon go hand in hand for me like sorry as problematic as he may be his music is so good especially like early 2000s ye like college dropout/graduation era unparalleled truly [all falls down // kanye | no church in the wild // kanye, jay z, frank ocean]
i associate jk with the (k) pop scene! so like the girlies like ms ariana grande newjeans lesserafim which i mean is his own doing like i’ve just seen him sing their songs one too many times like i can sooooo imagine him doing the smart choreo and it pains me that i won’t be able to see it 😪 and the boyssss like justin bieber primarily the kid laroi i remember he had a prettymuch song in his playlist once so when i listen to them i think of him but also silk sonic bc that album had him down bad in 2021/2022 [ditto // newjeans | stay // the kid laroi ft justin bieber | leave the door open // silk sonic]
now with yoongi obviously when i’m listening to trap music i think of him bc that’s the kind of music he be listening to so like 21 savage lil durk kendrick but also the other type songs i associate him with have less to do with him and more to do with the fact that his guitar became his third arm so whenever there’s like a more acoustic guitar based song brain goes yoongi <3 [a lot // 21 savage ft j cole | backseat freestyle // kendrick lamar | the only exception // paramore]
i’ve always felt that jin really just be listening to whatever top 40 hit he hear on the radio or is floating around the internet at the time so fr fr it’s not even any specific genre or style i associate him with like i could really see him listening to anything but i mean if i had to choose probably ballads the most i think bc that’s the kind of music he be singing OH and coldplay they go together obviously and frfr that like movie montage music like the kind of songs you would hear playing after the climax of a movie and the main protagonist is forlornly going through their days living through the consequences of their actions a how to save a life type beat kinda music [easy on me // adele | true love // coldplay // rich baby daddy // drake ft sza and sexyy red]
and finally we have mr park jimin i associate him with usher bc that’s his man crush so whenever i wanna feel the plight of a black man i throw on the confessions album and i imagine me and jimin getting into it i feel like i should associate him with hip hop more bc that’s what he be into like even after hearing face it just be throwing me off that thats the type wave he be on LOL i think it’s bc he’s my soft precious baby like he literally sang serendipity and then his this is jimin dance videos the stuck with you choreo like those vibes cannot be easily shaken [burn // usher | irene // jimmy brown | up down // t pain ft b.o.b.]

“MPJ anon are you black or some other race, what does he mean you don’t lol biracial? Also, is he delusional to think his hoeness gets deleted? He doesn’t need to marry anyone”
im black and white but get mistaken for middle eastern/latinw a lot. And yeah, he doesnt believe men can be hoes they can just “make hoes”.
“To the anon that just ended things with MPJ.. just curious.. did he say the only reason he dated you was because you didn’t look mixed, meaning… you look more black or just more racially ambiguous. Just curious about how this weird ninja mind works. And friend feel free to spill all the 🫖. None of us will tell. 🫣”
i look more racially ambiguous and he said thats why he was into me, he usually doesnt like black girls (he doesn't differentiate between mixed and black for women but referred to himself as mixed?). And i just might spill the tea he was horrible
“Crying MPJ anon saying he doesn’t like braids but his older sister used to have dreads and his younger one only ever wears braids😭😭and not him slut shaming u?? I hate him”
i got bohemian braids and he told me i look so much better with my hair straight and braids are ugly, it was giving antiblack lowkey because why do you care. and he was such a slutshamer he was interrogating me about my body count like bro YOU slid into MY dms
“MPJ anon are u a biracial who looks more on the white side?? Or just a white girl? Bc I know for a fact in spring/summer 2023 he was with multiple latinas and white girls whoring it up going back and forth between them. Then in sept/October and November he was dealing with Malu and her best friend who looks like her. So another dark haired tan Latina.”
i dont think i look white, im tan and wear my hair straight and i get a lot of different things. He messaged me in August on his main acc and we started texting/Fting and he gave me his finsta and we stopped talking in December, he blocked me everywhere after a fight where he was shaming me for wearing short shorts in “the cold” when we were inside. And Ik about Malu, she has a finsta and they follow each other on their finstas. Malu is also talking to Shai but I cant speak to much on that. And every young player has a finsta. Shit even old ones. Thats where all the drama happens. I talk to a Pacers player and have his finsta too, his entire finsta following is just other ballers finstas.
this just all sounds like a disaster omg anon how are you dealing 😭😭

can you believe that i um, forgot that i was going to post my dan vs the sims screenshots lmao
anyway here they are before i forget completely again lol starting with outfits cus i spent a really long time on them, i was literally just like playing dress up with them like dolls lol which i dont usually do with my sims but like i also spent a long time looking at different clothes theyve worn throughout the series (except i had to work with what i had yk) but anyway!
Dan's outfits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
All my thoughts here: i just had to try to give him a black shirt in every outfit lol i wish we could make custom clothes like in sims 3 but yk, i didnt have many body/face scar options bc i only have the werewolf pack i think that contributes scars but i did what i could (transmasc dan real lol), i don't have much to say about Dan's outfits (except that i spent like forever picking a pair of jeans for no reason lol) but like did you notice that hes got on "Chris' shirt" in his swimming outfit hehe, Also i kinda really like the shirt hes got in his summer outfit i was like 'this is a cool ass shirt id wear that shirt' lmao
Chris' outfits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thoughts: i was going to download a mod to fix the color of chris' shirt but then like i didn't want to lol, also i went through a lot of hairstyles but there wasn't one i liked so hes actually got the same as dan but whatever lol, i gave him a dog tag in case he gets lost lmao, about his scar: its a bitemark (from dan lmao) oh also he has a tramp stamp bc uh i thought it was hilarious lol like if he lost a bet or something, i could go on explaining how the majority of his outfits are based off of ones from the show but like i dont think i will lmao, i made his party outfit sort of match elise's lol
Elise's outfits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thoughts: Elise! I think i spent the longest on her outfits for some reason, the mod i downloaded was to fix her hair color, i could not have her going around with just red hair it didn't look right lol, i gave her scars too bc like why not lol i also gave her a full back tattoo bc it was sick lol, oh i also gave her a watch that looked like the little communicator she wears, can you believe that the only long shirt option was a button up for sleeping?, her party outfit is actually my favorite lol idk if its something she'd wear but i went back and forth with a couple different things and like that one was so cool lol
and finally, Mr Mumbles (she doesnt have any outfits lol)
Tumblr media
I actually had another Mr mumbles made but i didn't like that one so i went back a spent a really long time trying to make her perfect lol i think she came out pretty good
Other screenshots will be in another post! Cus this one is really long lol

okay ik ur allergic to dogs but. cats or dogs. i have lactose intolerant friends that still eat that stuff and die a minute after are u like them but with dogs
do u prefer the hot seasons or the chilly ones?
was there a particular job u wanted to do as a kid? and do u still want to do it?
finally what is your comfort show if u have any? was it like the first u saw or something else?
+ do you like asmr LMAO the normal kind i mean nothing 18+
Oh this is fun lol 👀
So I have 2 dogs (my big dumb German shepherd, she is my baby) and then my parent’s dog (he’s a mutt, mostly husky/chow tho) and 5 cats (I had 3 but then my aunt gave us her 2 outdoor cats)… so…. Other than giving up my dream of working with animals bc of the allergy… I still love/go around dogs. But I still think I’m more of a cat person? A lot of people favor dogs over them even if that means abusing the cats so I just feel really bad for them :( like my youngest cat was a tiny boy as a baby (the runt) so nobody wanted to adopt him until I walked in and he literally crawled right up to me 🥲 he literally crawled onto my shoulder and wouldn’t leave lol.
Anyway long answer short… cats. But I still love dogs
This one is so hard bc I go back and forth with every season. However I know for sure I HATE spring bc of my allergies. My nose will bleed for hours every day and my eyes feel like they’re gonna explode. I hate it. And ofc my birthday is during spring 😕 But tbh most of the time I prefer winter but right around Christmas, I love seeing all the pretty lights lol. It also doesn’t get as cold here anymore so I can still wear my summer outfits most of the time
I wanted to be in a rock band as a kid. I thought I was gonna be the best singer on this planet up until like I was 14 because I realized I liked animals more than music lol. But then of course I became allergic to dogs at 16 but it got way worse this year so now…. Idk what I want 💀 though starting a cat rescue would be nice
Hmmm… it was attack on titan but lately I haven’t been as into it (rewatching it with my cousin who’s never seen it and… I can’t lie season 1 is kinda boring). Pirates of the Caribbean is my comfort series, but they’re all movies so idk if that counts? I think now it’s just Game Grumps playthroughs bc I’ve been watching them for so long that everything bad that’s happened, I’ve just gone to watch them and they always make me feel better lol.
I can’t do asmr and I think it’s an autism thing. ESPECIALLY the whispering. It makes me wanna tear off my ears. The only kind of “asmr” I like is watching this girl on tik tok do bridal makeup. Bc she talks normally and doesn’t make it weird. I love watching people do makeup IF they use a normal not valley-girl voice for whatever reason lol. It somehow puts me to sleep??
Anyway these are so fun everyone send more lol

Hi Lily! Your blog is beautiful and refreshing! I love the earth tones and hues in your theme and in a lot of your collages. They just radiate an inviting friendly warmth. Yet, your song collage series includes deep saturated colors, which I adore. I’d love to make you a collage, although I usually make them by hand, so it might take a couple days. So, if I may I’d love to ask you some Qs to get to know you better, make you a fun collage, and just vibe. <3 Feel free to pick and choose questions and answer as simple or in depth as you please. 🫶🏼☀️💗
What are some aesthetics you like/literally anything that just makes your eyes happy 🤩? (from clothing, architecture, album covers, art, etc.)
What kind of light/lighting do you like (warm, cold, natural)?
What kind of animals do you like? Are there creatures that you are not fond of?
What are some go-to snacks and drinks you pick up at the gas station?
What is something that you like about each season?
Do you like the water, and do you like mermaids? c:
What are some foods, sweets, and beverages that you like?
What’s a quote, saying, fable or myth that comes to mind now and then. For me it’s been the tale of Icarus for some reason haha
What’s a music video and film that you love in terms of artistry? Whether it’s just the cinematography, or everything from the wardrobe to the soundtrack?
If I actually sent you this as an owl, what color ink and paper would you reply with? 🦉📜✒️
Thank you for letting me send you this owl <3 I send hugs and positive sunny energy. ☀️🌈🫧🌿🍧📚🩵 - Cielo aka milivanili99 lol nice to meet you <3
this ask makes my heart so happy. you’re the absolute sweetest ever and i’d love for you to make me a collage!! thank you so much!! i’m so sorry that this is so long but i had so much fun doing it!!!
aesthetics: in terms of clothing i’d say that i dress kinda alternative kinda indie but it really depends. my dad says that i sometimes dress how he did in the 90s which always makes me laugh. as far as general aesthetics go i literally like anything, my tastes in stuff seem to change but i love anything with like a retro vibe. one of my favourite album covers is smashing pumpkins - mellon collie and the infinite sadness. idk why but it just scratches an itch in my brain.
lighting: i absolutely love warm lighting. n like natural sunlight especially when the sun is setting and it goes all orange and pretty
animals: i absolutely love frogs. they’re my favourite things ever <3 i also really really love dogs.
go to snacks from the petrol station: oooo this is such a tricky one but i love cherry pepsi max, or ice tea. n if i’m getting snacks i’ll usually go for some kind of salt n vinegar crisps or like a snickers or something.
something i like about each season:
winter - i love when it’s cold out and you can see your breath, i like it when it snows but only when i’m looking at it from inside because i hate being out in the snow. i love hot chocolate and christmas and spending time with my family.
autumn - everything about autumn i love. i love wearing ugly jumpers, and drinking tea and reading books when it’s raining out side. i love when you go outside around bonfire night and the air smells kind of smokey. i love pumpkin spice and banana bread and rewatching gilmore girls.
spring - i love when it just starts to get sunny again and you can go outside with just a jacket on. i love when the flowers start blooming again and everything seems like it’s getting more colour like someone has just turned the saturation up.
summer - i love sitting in beer gardens with my friends and spending hours there not knowing where the night will take us. i love going on picnics and going on walks. i love sitting in my garden in the evening reading a book and watching the sunset.
water: i love water but the ocean terrifies me. and i absolutely love mermaids. i used to pretend to be a mermaid when i was a kid bc i had super long ginger hair. my dad always used to sing me this one silly song that he made up that was something like “there once was a mermaid in mermaid lagoon, she ate her yogurt with a silver spoon” lmao
quote, saying, fable or myth: icarus is one for me as well! i also love the story of robin hood
film: a film that i absolutely adore everything about, the story, the aesthetic, everything, is the dead poets society
owl: oooo if i had to reply i think i’d love to write back on light pink paper with dark green ink

More “pretty puppy” thoughts. What would Yoongi’s preference for mc’s clothes and underwear/lingerie be? Does he let her dress how she wants or subtly manipulate her to dress how he likes? By gifting/buying her clothes maybe hm. I imagine he prefers cute, innocent looks. Maybe with cute animal designs on them. Animal onesies! Would he ever let her wear a short skirt outside? I imagine not? But maybe she wants to do a date where they wear matching school uniforms. (I imagine he wouldn’t want to but would do it for mc if she whined and used her puppy eyes cutely enough lol) Maybe she has a cute reason like wanting to pretend like they’re high schoolers on a date. And they’d hang out like high schoolers at cheap restaurants/street food stalls, arcades, and a Photo Booth etc. omg. Pretend that Yoongi doesn’t get recognized on the street or he’s wearing a black face mask. I like the Korean rental ones. (Omg there’s so many cute variations! Please Google and scroll a lil. I like the one I sent bc of the pink socks. I imagine it’d look better with a navy coat maybe idk. Yoongi could buy her anything but there’s kind of some charm to a rental imo) And all this stemmed from this thought. How would he act if other guys start staring at her bc of the outfit/skirt? Would he try to cover her? Lead her away? Maybe confront them? All this to imagine some jealous Yoongi. And for them to have sex (jealous sex!) in these outfits. Sorry lol brain is on overdrive today
-🖤
ooo idk if he’d be into like sexy sexy lingerie, i think he’d like the appeal of cotton panties with the little bows on them, maybe even mismatched underwear
i think once he makes her quit her job he’d start buying her clothes and that’s how he kinda changes her wardrobe up a bit, maybe slowly throwing out all her older “adult” clothes that are too rough and uncomfortable. i think his first priority is comfort especially if she’s just lounging around his studio all day
ooo cutesy, innocent clothes definitely, another thought maybe he buys matching collars so she can coordinate depending on the outfit he picks out for her in the morning
animal onesies would be so cute 😭 i think he’d definitely get cat and bunny ones, another filthy idea but what if he makes her suck him off while wearing a bunny onesie and uses the ears to hold her down on his cock
uuuh idk about short skirts actually, i think maybe it would be a transitional thing. like maybe when they first start out he doesn’t really like the idea of her walking around with them on but i think maybe once he realizes that she only has eyes for him, he wouldn’t mind so much, especially during the summer because maybe she complains that shorts get too uncomfortable sometimes so he just puts up with the skirts
the uniforms!!! you know he would say no at first. maybe she gets all teary eyed, complaining that it would be cute and that he was too mean and he’d just crumble on the spot and agree
i looked on pinterest and there were a lot of navy sweater vest uniforms, which i think are more for the summer/ spring, i saw a cute black one as well. i know you can rent uniforms at lotte world so maybe they go there one time as well
omg roleplay?
maybe she says she wanted to date in high school but no one ever liked her so she wants to pretend yoongi is her high school first love and he just can’t say no to that, i imagine the m/c to be very dramatic, but i also see yoongi being too soft to say no
him letting her win all the 1v1 games in the arcade, or winning tickets so he can get her a prize, or spending an hour at the claw machine because she saw a plushie she liked the look of and he’s determined to win it (maybe she goes to the bathroom and he pays one of the workers a shit ton of money to just get it out of the machine before she gets back)
i think she’d have to physically drag him into a photo booth but i also think he’d pin the photos up by his computer in the studio so he can look at it every day and maybe he gets a little shy because he doesn’t think he’s ever seen himself smile as big as he does when he’s with her
okay story time but i have to share this because to this day i vividly remember this but i think yoongi would do the something similar-ish maybe not as extreme if he were to find literally any other man looking at her in a skirt— and you need the full context because if i had to suffer so do you now, i’ve waited years to share my pain with someone
i was out with my parents for dinner and i was so excited because it’s so hard to find decent middle eastern restaurants here, but we found a really good one and i thought nothing could ruin my meal. i turn to the left and deadass this guy and his girlfriend walked past us, and he had his hand shoved up her skirt from behind, mind you i must have been like 16 and i was so confused why he was fingering her on this busy street while i was trying to eat my kibbeh
so i think yoongi would do the same and make a show of it. i think he would just shove his hand under her skirt, making sure that any man who tried to challenge him knew that she was his. and of course our m/c is the horniest being on the planet, so yoongi skimming his hands over her butt was definitely an invitation for her to drag him into the bathroom and get railed over the sink until her pussy is all soiled and she has to clench her legs for the rest of the night to make sure none of his cum dribbles out of her, and maybe it does. and maybe those same men see it. and maybe yoongi has a very smug smile on his face after that

hi megs! i'm sending you love<3
23, 24 & 26 pls
hiya ana! what a coincidence bc i am sending *you* love! :))
23. how do you feel about chilly weather? kinda mixed tbh! i tend to run cold so if it's too chilly then i'll be all huddled and cold, but i also love wearing hoodies and jackets so as long as it's on the warmer side of chilly then i love it! :))
24. if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing? if the timing and the angle was right then we'd be watching the sunset while listening to music and catching up! maybe some snacks would be involved :))
26. a scenario you've replayed multiple times? like, a fake scenario? ummm well there was a time in my life a couple years ago now where i would imagine this future me who lived in this giant house that was part b&b that i ran part home for me and a ton of friends. i'd designed the house myself so each and every room had a fun theme and if it was for a friend to live in then it'd be tailor-made for them :)) the b&b would only be open seasonally so we'd still get privacy, and there was a huge environmentally-friendly park behind the house that i had commissioned altho it was open to the public, and the groundskeeper lived in a cottage just a couple minutes walk from my place. most of my friends would only live there for part of the year (people with kids would come to stay during their kids' summer breaks and that sort of thing) and the house would be filled with murals and art by friends and friends of friends and there'd be musical instruments throughout the house that people could play if they wanted to (the walls would be soundproof for obvious reasons lol) and it'd just be a place that everyone i cared about would know they could call home :)))
send me some weirder asks!

Tumblr media
"You look very pretty, Y/N," my little sister, Y/S/N, said with a smile as I pulled my bag across my shoulders.
I smiled down at her, heart warming at the way she looked up at me. She was only ten years old, but to be someone she looked up to was a responsibility I took seriously, so when she was the one to compliment me rather than the other way around, it was sweet.
"Thanks, Y/S/N," I said, squeezing her shoulder gently. "I appreciate that. You think the guests will like it?"
"They'd be silly not to," she told me with confidence, and it made me chuckle.
I worked as a waitress at the Hob in town, usually being able to wear whatever I wanted and opting for something practical over pretty, but today it had been reserved for the reception of some peacekeeper's wedding. Meaning, I had to be on my best behaviour and wear the nicest thing I owned – a sundress in the back of my closet that I rarely touched.
"Come here," I said to Y/S/N, opening my arms, to which she hugged my waist and I squeezed her tight. "I've gotta go now, but I'll be back by dinner. Let mum and dad know, yeah?"
She nodded and I kissed the top of her head before heading out and walking through town to get to the Hob. It was the middle of summer, so I was already building a sweat by the time I arrived, but thankfully my favourite colleague and bartender, Miles, offered me some iced water when he saw me. The only reason we had ice was because it was a peacekeeper's wedding and they wanted the best for their guests, otherwise it would have been lukewarm as usual.
The reception was yet to start, so I spent the next hour and a half cleaning up the place as Miles got the food and drinks ready. Once all the tables were cleaned and set up, guests began to make their way in, and the act of the day, the Covey, soon arrived and made their way onstage to prepare.
The Covey were the only musical geniuses in the district, the best source of entertainment for those who wanted a party to remember. All six of them were extremely talented musicians, each with their own charm. And when they weren't working at the Hob, performing, they were hired to work birthday parties or weddings, such as today.
As I was with Miles, we were essentially colleagues and it was easy to chat to the joyous bunch of them, especially when we shared a dinner break together briefly between their performances whenever I was on shift. Though, admittedly, I'd harboured a small crush on their lead singer, Lucy Gray Baird, for a while now. It wasn't anything major, but it was there.
It began when I saw them performing once a few years ago, before I'd landed a job here as a waitress and was just visiting for lunch. Back then, it was a mere futile crush on a pretty girl I saw onstage. And then as I got older, now seventeen, and got this job, it didn't go away, and I soon realised I was just one of the many admirers of Lucy Gray, nobody special.
Of course, that didn't mean I wasn't an absolute nervous wreck whenever she paid me any attention or spoke to me. She wasn't intentionally flirty, it was just her personality (and she was also in a relationship with her boyfriend, Billy Taupe Clade), but it left me flustered every time.
It was a crush I knew I'd eventually get over. Some day. At some point. Eventually.
But for now, I was stuck, so I learnt to ignore it whenever I could. Of course, at times it was impossible, such as when they were performing some of their songs at the wedding reception today and I happened to glance their way, meeting her eyes for a split second. She was mid-singing, winking playfully at me before working the crowd as usual, and I knew it was part of the performance, yet I still had to breathe out quickly and remember that I was serving a drink.
The reception was easy to work, arguably easier than a regular night at the Hob because everybody was sober and more collected due to it being a wedding reception and not a night out. I was serving food and drinks, replenishing the buffet, cleaning tables, and it wasn't so bad, plus I was getting paid double just to do it.
Halfway through the event, I was standing at the bar, waiting for Miles to make up a tray of drinks, when I felt someone approach me from the left. I was surprised to see Lucy Gray herself, no doubt taking a breather as her family performed onstage meanwhile.
"Don't you look mighty fine this afternoon," she said with a playful smile, looking me up and down as she leaned atop the bar.
I felt my cheeks growing warm as I offered a small smile. "Thanks, Lucy Gray, so do you."
"Why thank you," she answered, smile permanent on her lips as she continued. "You should wear dresses more often. They suit you, darlin'."
I tried not to laugh. "Thanks, but pants are much easier to work in on a busy night. This is a rarity."
Her eyes glimmered with amusement before she glanced out at the stage and the lively crowd dancing along to the music.
"You guys have been doing great today," I complimented, before getting startled by her intense stare. "You– your voice– your–"
She began to laugh at my awkwardness. "I get it. Thank you, that's very sweet of you to say. The Covey are on their best behaviour today." She leaned a little closer, lowering her voice and adding, "After all, if we do good, we get booked again which means more money."
I nodded in agreement. "Cheers to that."
She smiled widely before leaning back again, and I glanced over at Miles to see he was still finishing up with the tray of drinks.
"So, how's your family doin'?" she asked, leaning her chin in the palm of her hand.
"My family?" I asked, tilting my head.
"You have a sister, right? And parents?"
I was surprised she knew to be honest, considering I'd never spoken about them before in the few conversations we'd shared. We usually just spoke about work on our breaks.
"Oh, yeah," I said with a nod. "They're good. Y/S/N is probably playing with her friends right about now. My mum's sewing, no doubt, and my dad will be in the mines. A typical day in the Y/L/N household."
She cracked a smile, before scrunching up her nose. "Your little sister is adorable. She always has the biggest smile on her face whenever I see her around. Always talkin' to everyone, it's sweet. And Maude Ivory always gets a kick out of playin' with her in the park."
I began to smile at her compliments – it was always lovely hearing great things about Y/S/N. "Yeah, she's always been the happy, outgoing Y/L/N and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Hey, the happy, quiet Y/L/N isn't so bad either," she corrected, nudging me in the arm slightly, and the warmth in my cheeks returned as I avoided her stare.
Laughing quietly, she straightened up. "I should head back to the stage. Just wanted to check if you're gonna have your lunch break with us soon? Out back?"
I nodded, recovering from my flustered state. "Sounds like a plan."
"Great!" she exclaimed with a grin. "See you then, cutie."
I continued working and the Covey performed three more songs before we were all allowed to have a quick lunch break. It was timed perfectly for when the bride, groom and guests would make their speeches and none of us were needed.
It was hard not to drool as I made up a quick plate from the food offered, courtesy of the bride and groom. Grilled deer, creamy mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables and gravy were a luxury, a rarity, and I was adamant on savouring every last bit.
Once I joined the others outside, they were all sat in a circle on some crates they'd pulled out, already digging into their dinners. As they mumbled about how great the food was between bites, Barb Azure, their signature bass player, waved me over where she'd saved me a seat between her and Maude Ivory, the youngest of the bunch.
I dug right in with my fork, savouring the flavours and making the most of a good thing whilst I had it.
"Y'know, I heard one of the bride's cousins sayin' she was interested in hiring us for her wedding next month," Tam Amber, their resident mandolin player, commented with a nod. "This gig seems to be paying for itself already."
"Let's not get our hopes up just yet," Barb Azure warned. "We don't know what'll happen."
"Oh, I'm sure you'll get another gig," I assured her, before glancing out at them all. "They'd be crazy not to see what you guys can do. Plus, I've been throwing in a good word with the guests, so it's kind of like really subtle brainwashing."
This earned a few laughs from them and Barb Azure nudged my side playfully.
"How's your job goin' today anyway, Y/N?" she asked considerately, and they all waited for an answer.
"Not too bad," I said with a shrug. "The folk here are a little easier to serve compared to an average night at the Hob. A little more–”
"Civilised?" offered Clerk Carmine, their fiddle player.
I tried not to laugh as I amended, "I was gonna say sober, but sure." They chuckled as I stabbed a piece of carrot with my fork and continued. "It's different, but a job's a job."
"Amen to that," Lucy Gray agreed, and everyone repeated after her lightheartedly.
"So, what are you all doing after this is over?" I asked, before sipping my water.
"Well, Lucy Gray over here is probably gonna go straight over to her beau," Barb Azure teased with a knowing smirk. "Been talkin' all day about how she misses him."
Maude Ivory began making kissing noises, eliciting laughter from everyone else, and I cracked a small smile at how embarrassed Lucy Gray became. Her cheeks were dusting pink as she avoided looking at anyone.
"Billy Taupe, right?" I asked. "Isn't he supposed to be performing with you today?"
"Yeah, he's not been feeling well these past few days," she explained, a shy smile on her lips as she looked at the ground. "Just wanna make sure he's alright."
I nodded, looking down at my plate. "That's sweet. I'm sure he's looking forward to it."
"Are you with anyone, Y/N?" Maude Ivory asked from beside me, smiling in a way that reminded me of Y/S/N.
"I am not," I answered, before smiling a little. "Just haven't found someone I'm interested in is all."
"And what are you interested in?" Lucy Gray asked, earning my attention.
She was watching me from across the huddle, eyes glowing with intrigue and a curious smile on her lips. To say I was suddenly nervous was an understatement, and I let out an awkward laugh as I looked away from her, unable to think straight all of a sudden.
"I, erm, I don't know," I tried to find words. "Someone who's funny, caring, trustworthy... it sounds obvious, the basics, but you'd be surprised how many people aren't those things."
She chuckled in response. "I get that... well, I hope you find that, darlin'. You've got all the time in the world."
I smiled a little, unsure what else to say, and then Tam Amber started talking about what song they could perform next, and the attention was thankfully no longer on me.
Tumblr media
It wasn't long after lunch when the event finally ended and the guests began to file out. After saying my goodbyes to the Covey, who must have been exhausted after all their performances, I was left with Miles to clean up the place before we closed. He was sorting through stock in the back as I was finishing the brushing up out front.
I was lost in thought about nothing in particular when I heard someone's footsteps stomping on the wooden floorboards by the door, and when I looked up, I was surprised to see Lucy Gray had returned. When she spotted me too, she stopped abruptly, startled by my presence. It wasn't until she rushed to wipe her cheeks did I realise she had red, teary eyes and a frown on her lips.
"Oh–," she stopped, before clearing her throat, "you're still here."
Unsure what to think or do, I looked around. "Er, yeah, I'm just finishing up." After a moment, I knew I needed to check in. "Are you– what hap–"
"Sorry," she cut me off, avoiding my gaze. "I just forgot my guitar."
We both looked to the stage, where her guitar was peeking out from between the curtains. I hadn't noticed it before.
Not saying another word, she made a beeline for her instrument, and I hesitated, gripping the brush's handle. She was clearly upset about something, but I didn't know her well enough to ask.
Then, as I saw her grab her guitar and sniffle quietly, I knew I couldn't just leave her to it, not without a guilty conscious anyway.
"Lucy Gray, is everything alright?" I called to her, trying to dial down my concern for her sake.
She sucked up a breath before turning around, forcing a smile on her face. "Yes, 'course it is."
I frowned, putting the brush to the side before approaching the stage. "You're upset, Lucy Gray. Did someone do something?"
She attempted a laugh to ease the tension, but it only came out halfhearted and broken, and then another tear rolled down her cheek and my concern was skyrocketing because I'd never seen her like this before.
"You don't have to tell me," I added, "but you're worrying me. This isn't like you."
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, collecting herself, and I wondered what could have possibly happened in the last half an hour between when she left and now. Why was she so upset when she'd walked out of here grinning?
"Billy Taupe wasn't sick," she suddenly said, and it took me a second to process.
"What?"
Was it something worse? Was he dying? Was he in an accident?
"He was cheatin' on me with Mayfair," she said bitterly.
I furrowed my brows, trying to understand. "The mayor's daughter? What?"
She nodded weakly before moving forward to sit on the edge of the stage, shoulders hunched. I blinked, realisation setting in, and wondered how on earth Billy Taupe could do such a thing.
"I caught them kissin' by the market," she said, and I took a seat beside her hesitantly as she continued. "He saw me, and so did she, and then she was smirkin', that no good, dirty–" She stopped herself, though her jaw was clenched. "He tried to explain, but I didn't wanna hear it." She paused, swallowing hard. "I realised I left my guitar here and came back for it."
I was in disbelief, both from the fact that Billy Taupe lied to his family, but also that he cheated on Lucy Gray in the first place. Did he know how lucky he was to have her?
"I'm so sorry you had to witness that," I said, still baffled. "That he did that. You– you don't deserve that at all, Lucy Gray."
She only sighed deeply in response, leaning on her knees and putting her head in her hands with exhaustion. Instinctively, I began to rub circles on her back, hoping it would provide some comfort.
"I wish I could do something," I said quietly, not wanting to upset her anymore than she already was. "I'm so sorry."
And like a switch had been flicked, she began to straighten up, making me drop my hand, and wiped her tears away shyly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be such a mess," she felt the need to apologise, but I shook my head.
"Don't," I assured her, watching her profile as she avoided my eyes. "Really. You don't need to– I'm sorry. I– I don't know what to do or say, I know it's all still fresh. But I'm here for you."
Taking a risk, I wrapped an arm around her shoulder, with the intention of giving her a side hug, but then she pulled me closer, hugging me properly. Knowing she needed it and only wanting to put her at ease, I squeezed her gently, letting her know I was there. It was horrible not being able to do much more.
After a moment, she began to pull back slightly and I did too, searching her expression for a hint to how she was feeling. Her brown, glassy eyes met mine, and for the first time since I'd known her, they were anything but playful and teasing. I was touched she was letting me see this side of her, a side not many were privy too, but I wished it wasn't under these circumstances.
"Thank you for that," she said gratefully.
"No worries," I said, sensing she felt a little better, but not completely. "I meant what I said, about being here for you. And I don't really want to leave you alone like this. Do you want me to walk you back home?"
She smiled guiltily, shaking her head. "I can't ask that of you, Y/N."
"It's okay, I want to," I said, before standing up and straightening my dress. "Just give me two minutes to put the brush away and say bye to Miles."
A little relieved, she nodded, and I did just that. With everything going on with her, it was as if the usual nervous, awkward Y/N that always came out when I was around her had disappeared. Now, I just wanted her to be okay.
After saying my farewell to Miles, I grabbed my bag and returned to the front, surprised to still see Lucy Gray sat waiting for me. I was certain she'd have left, using my two minutes as opportunity.
"You ready?" I asked, before noticing her guitar in hand and offering to take it. "Here, I'll get that for you."
"Oh, no, you don't need to–"
"Hey, I don't mind, really," I assured with a smile before taking the handle of the case from her.
She exhaled softly, a small smile tugging at her lips as she nodded, before we left the Hob.
The sun was setting in the sky as we walked through town and to the woods, past the Seam where she and the rest of the Covey lived. Their home wasn't far from my own place, so I didn't mind the trip. It was quiet between us as we walked, the sound of our feet crunching on the gravel the only thing to be heard.
I was worried about her, but I knew she probably appreciated the quiet, so I didn't speak until she did.
"The others don't know yet," she said, voice cracking, as if feeling the need to explain. "I'm gonna tell them."
"I won't say a word," I promised, glancing over at her.
She was fixated on the ground. "Everybody will find out anyway, but yeah."
"They won't find out from me," I said with a nod, and she glanced at me gratefully before staring ahead.
The remainder of the walk was a peaceful quiet, and then we finally reached her home, a small shack that all six of them lived in together. Though, I did wonder how that would change now that Billy Taupe had basically exiled himself.
It wasn't my concern though, so when we stopped outside her front garden, I gave her back her guitar case.
"Thanks again, Y/N," she said appreciatively.
"I'll be here if you ever wanna talk about it, or anything," I told her gently. "I know we aren't super close, but I'll be here."
She smiled a little, but it didn't reach her eyes. "I appreciate that."
I tried not to stare at her too long, but my gaze lingered a little longer than it should have. I couldn't help it – I'd never seen her like this, and it wasn't fair in the slightest.
"Lucy Gray?" I said before she could leave.
"Yeah?"
I paused, wondering whether it was appropriate to say. "You deserved better than him anyway. He was kind of punching with you."
She let out a small laugh, momentarily free of any hurt he'd caused her, and it made the warmth in my chest blossom intensely. I smiled at her once more before leaving her to it, walking back home with a fuzzy feeling inside of me.
Tumblr media
It didn't take long for gossip and rumours to spread around the district about Lucy Gray, Billy Taupe and Mayfair Lipp, at least amongst everyone in our age group anyway. By the end of the week, everybody knew about the cheating and Billy Taupe's new relationship.
It couldn't have been easy for Lucy Gray, and I wasn't sure how she'd been doing as I didn't see her until that following weekend at the Hob, but I'd been thinking of her the whole week. When she rocked up with her family, excluding Billy Taupe who I assumed was no longer part of their group anymore, she looked a little better. I wasn't sure how much of it was a facade though, a front for the audience and the gossips.
I was working that evening, serving as usual, but I'd tune in to some of their songs and noticed a few new ones had made the list, namely about Billy Taupe and what he'd done. At least Lucy Gray had channeled her anger into something productive.
Once again, I was at the bar giving Miles an order when Lucy Gray found me on her quick break.
"Hey," she greeted, earning my attention, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Hey," I replied. "You're looking good." And then when I realised how forward I sounded, I tried to backtrack, my nerves returning the longer she watched me with her red-painted lips, upturned into a playful smile. "I mean, happy good. Like emotionally, and not upset, but–"
"I get it," she said, unable to stop her amusement from showing. "And thanks. I'm feeling a little better. Thanks again for bein' there."
Relaxing a little, I nodded, glad to hear it. "Anytime."
She quirked a brow as she asked, "So, what did you think of the new songs?"
I smiled. "They were great, Lucy Gray. Just when I thought you couldn't outdo yourself with your lyrics, you prove me wrong."
At this, her eyes lit up. "Gosh, you mean that?"
"Of course," I said like it was obvious, because it was. "Everyone here does. Sorry, did you not hear the applause?"
She was suppressing her smile, unusually embarassed as she looked the other way for a moment, and I couldn't help but smile at how cute she looked. It didn't last long though, as her eyes caught something behind me, causing her smile to fade away.
Confused, I glanced over my shoulder to see what she was looking at, only to spot none other than Billy Taupe and Mayfair herself walking in. They didn't notice at first, but then Mayfair met Lucy Gray's stare and proceeded to roll her eyes before tugging Billy Taupe by the arm.
"Just ignore them," I said to Lucy Gray, eyes softening at the flash of hurt crossing her expression.
She clenched her jaw slightly, looking down. "Easier said than done. He's headin' this way."
I furrowed my brows, turning to see, and he approached us alone, Mayfair somewhere ahead and not looking the slightest bit happy that Billy Taupe was talking to his ex.
Lucy Gray kept her eyes locked on the ground as Billy Taupe cleared his throat, merely glancing at me before nodding to her hopefully.
"Lucy Gray, you're lookin' real stunnin' tonight," he tried his luck.
My gaze flickered to her, curious, but she kept her lips shut, saying nothing.
"Really?" he pressed, growing slightly annoyed. "You're gon' stay quiet?"
She looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here, as uncomfortable as I'd ever seen her, but Billy Taupe didn't care in the slightest.
"C'mon, you can't ignore me forever," he tried again. "I only wanna explain."
Again, she was quiet, and before he could say another word, I decided to give him a suggestion. I usually wouldn't get involved, but Lucy Gray was not comfortable at all and I wasn't just going to watch as he harassed her.
"Maybe you should give it a break tonight," I said as politely as I could to him. "She's clearly not in the mood."
Aside from the annoyed glance he sent my way, it was as if he hadn't acknowledged me at all, instead resorting to calling her name again.
"Billy Taupe," I tried to get his attention, getting a little annoyed myself now.
"Lucy Gray, c'mon," he was continuing to plead, and she was shrinking back the closer he got, only wishing he'd go away.
He suddenly touched her arm, an attempt to get her to look at him, but she snatched it back just as quick.
"Billy Taupe," I repeated with a firm voice, fixing him with a glare, and when he tried to grab her again, I stepped between them, pushing him back slightly. Just enough to earn his attention, and boy, was he unhappy with that.
"Are you deaf?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow.
He sneered at me. "I ain't never seen you around before."
"So, blind, too," I added, making his fists clench. "I'd drop this unless you want to be escorted out."
He tried not to laugh. "And who'll be doing the escorting?"
I raised an eyebrow, before glancing over at Miles behind the bar, who had witnessed the commotion unfold. One hard stare from him was enough to have Billy Taupe straightening up nervously. Mayfair soon appeared from behind him and tugged him away, but not before glaring at Lucy Gray and I.
A hand rested on my arm and I turned around to see Lucy Gray watching me with a knowing look. "Thanks, but you shouldn't have done that. Mayfair already hates me, there's no point in adding you to her list too."
"It doesn't matter. I can't just let someone be a bully," I told her, before glancing over at the retreating figures of Billy Taupe and Mayfair.
Lucy Gray snickered quietly, making me look back to her. "You're cute," she decided, "but stupid."
I wasn't sure what to think of that, nor how to react, but she continued speaking before I could think about it for much longer.
"I should head back onstage now, but see you on break?"
"Sure," I agreed, and she flashed me a smile before returning to the stage.
I watched her go, knowing I was getting too involved and it was definitely going to be a mistake, but I couldn't help it. Even if it wasn't Lucy Gray, I'd still do what I could, unable to stand aside as someone was being mistreated. It was only right. Though, I suppose, it being Lucy Gray also added to my worry a little more.
"She's right y'know," Miles suddenly said, pulling me from thought. He was sliding over a tray of drinks towards me as he continued, "You shouldn't get in Mayfair's bad books. She's got connections."
I sighed, taking the tray. "I know, I know. I won't now, swear."
He suppressed the urge to laugh. "You're in deep, my dear. It's written all over your face."
I didn't even need to ask what he was talking about, and it made my face heat up with embarrassment. Was it that obvious?
Tumblr media
The rest of the evening played out and neither Billy Taupe nor Mayfair paid Lucy Gray or the rest of the Covey any mind, thankfully. I wish I could've said the same for myself. Clearly they weren't very fond of me, and it showed by the glares they'd send my way whenever I happened to be serving food or drinks in their vicinity.
I was delivering another tray of drinks to a table near them when Billy Taupe decided it would be funny to 'accidentally' bump into me, knocking the drinks all over and, subsequently, the glasses to the floor in a shatter that was barely heard above the music and audience.
"My bad," he said between stifled laughter, and Mayfair joined in with the laughing, making me roll my eyes. They weren't worth it.
I bent down to pick up the bigger pieces of glass and put them on the tray, knowing I'd need to brush the rest up as soon as possible before someone hurt themselves.
"Hey, what's going on here?" I heard Miles' voice from behind me, and I looked up to see him kneeling beside me. "You alright Y/N?"
"Just peachy," I replied with a forced smile.
"Here, give me that," he said, already taking the tray from my hands. "You go get cleaned up outside."
"You sure? I don't mind–"
"Just go," he said, giving me a look. "Please."
I sighed, nodding gratefully, before getting up and making my way to the back. Grabbing a rag from behind the bar, I went outside and let my shoulders drop tiredly, appreciating the fresh evening air. As I was dabbing the drinks from my shirt, trying my best to get rid of the dampness if not the stain, I knew it was pointless. I still smelt of booze and was inherently sticky.
Letting out another sigh, I leaned back against the wall and took a moment. Okay, so maybe confronting Billy Taupe and his new hotshot girlfriend wasn't ideal, but I couldn't just stand by and let him harass someone. This was a mild inconvenience at most, though terribly gross.
The door behind the Hob opened and I glanced over, expecting Miles, but straightened up when I realised it was Lucy Gray. I was certain she was performing only a moment ago.
"There you are," she spoke before I could open my mouth, and let the door close behind her as she approached me. Her eyes lowered to my shirt with a frown. "I saw what happened from the stage, but had to finish my song. I'm so sorry, Y/N, I never wanted you to get involved. He can be so petty and–"
"You don't need to apologise for him, for either of them," I said calmly. "They are the way they are. It's just annoying, I suppose."
She exhaled softly, before grabbing the rag from my hand and attempting to finish the job of drying my shirt.
"You need to stay away from them," she spoke in a warning tone, eyes flickering between her job at hand and my face, making me forget how to breathe for a moment. "I appreciate your help, that you care, but it ain't worth it. Mayfair has powerful connections and sway with some nasty people. You don't need to be in her sights, not for anyone. Especially not for me."
"I'm sorry," I said quietly, making her smile as she met my eyes.
"You don't need to be sorry, just be cautious," she said, expression softening.
It felt strange, her looking out for me when she was the one who had to see her cheating ex again. I stopped her from cleaning me up, taking the rag from her hand, and she looked at me expectantly.
"How are you?" I asked considerately. "With him here?"
"It's hard," she admitted with a nod, "but I got the Covey by my side. I got you."
I began to smile and confirmed, "Right."
She mirrored my smile, before asking, "Are you okay?"
I glanced down at my maroon-coloured shirt, now stained brown, and scrunched up my face. "Bit damp. Bit sticky. But I'll live."
She chuckled. "I think Tam Amber has a spare shirt. He won't mind."
Relieved, I said, "That would be super helpful actually."
She showed me to the place where the Covey hung out between shows, a large wooden shed, though more of a garage for cars nobody owned anymore, opposite the back door of the Hob. The garage doors were chained shut, but a back door was wedged open with a cinder block, and that's where Lucy Gray led me.
I stood to the side as she went searching for the shirt, my eyes flickering around with intrigue. I'd never actually been inside here, only occasionally heard the Covey tuning their instruments before a set or chatting away after one. It was spacious, enough of their belongings scattered around for them to claim the place, though really nobody owned it.
"And here we are," Lucy Gray said, earning my attention. She was holding out a large dusty brown button-up shirt my way. "Might be a little big, but it'll do the job."
I accepted it gratefully, offering a nod. "Thanks, Lucy Gray."
"You can change in here, nobody comes in," she assured me, before flashing me a smile and leaving.
So, I did just that. After replacing my shirt, I looked in the slightly-cracked standing mirror in the corner and tried to make myself look a little more presentable. The shirt was big, no doubt, so I was forced to tuck it into my trousers, though it was apparent to anyone with eyes that it wasn't mine. I rolled up the sleeves and was grateful for it anyway, no longer feeling as sticky or smelly as I did before.
I was trying to fix my collars, which were crumpling under themselves, as I left the shed, only to find Lucy Gray waiting outside for me.
"You're still here," I said with confusion, pausing.
"Hey, you look great!" she said with a bright smile, approaching me.
"You should be performing–"
She waved her hand dismissively, before helping herself to my collars, already attempting to fix them. "They can survive without me for a set. But you look good. Just gonna fix this up."
"Thanks," I managed to get out, feeling a heat crawl up my neck whenever her fingers brushed my skin. I looked anywhere but at her, hating how close she was stood, and said, "You sure Tam Amber won't mind?"
"I'm sure," she promised, before flattening my shirt and stepping back, tilting her head adorably. "All done. C'mon, we should get back to work."
I nodded, and the two of us returned to the Hob. She gave me a final smile before returning to the stage, and I was about to get back to work when I caught Billy Taupe's obnoxious glare from across the room, his eyes flickering between Lucy Gray and I. Ignoring him, I picked up where I left off and began to take some more orders.

I’m so exhausted. This is long af.
Too long; don’t want to read: My dad ruined the weekend for me and my mom. I had an amazing night Monday with my boyfriend.
It’s was such a long weekend. My parents made the decision to stay an extra day, though I had plans and was out of town yesterday so they only got to see me for like 2 hours, so they just left this morning.
A little recap of the weekend. My mom was fine. Surprisingly not as many comments about my weight or appearance as usually. I’m always prepared for her own obsession with appearance (specifically weight) to come up — and usually this happens with comments about what I’m eating or drinking. That only happened once this weekend. Other than that my mom was fine. We would go shopping together and purposely bring their dog with us so that my dad would have to stay in the car and watch her while we shopped. Because my father is an asshole all the time. Like.. 24/7.. he’s just the last person anyone wants to be around for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time.
My dad on the other hand :/ He’s never happy about anything. Like he literally complained about every single meal and every single place we went. He kept making inappropriate and insulting remarks about every single stranger he saw. He’s just a terrible person. He’s always harping on about how I never graduated high school. I am 31 years old, y’all. I left HS in 2007! He still hasn’t let this go. He’s also a fucking idiot. He thinks that the reason I can’t get into another apartment is because…. I didn’t graduate high school… 15 years ago… (he doesn’t understand how literally anything related to finances work, bc my mom has treated him like a child for the last 35 years and she’s done everything but wipe his ass for him). Then there were all the comments about how trashy, dirty, ghetto, and shitty my apartment is (and .. yes my apartment isn’t the best lol— but it’s not dirty or trashy). He called me “fat” about a dozen times. Everything I ate, to him, was unhealthy, fattening, full of sugar, greasy, or “junk.” Despite the fact that the only time they saw me eat was when I had a meal with them… the same meals they were eating too.
On Sunday I went with them for breakfast and I didn’t realize the french toast I ordered was made with milk. I’m lactose intolerant. So it made my stomach hurt really bad and I felt awful the entire rest of the day. Well my dad doesn’t understand what lactose intolerance is, actually— he thinks it’s made up (he also thinks every medical condition I have is made up, unless he or my mom have it.. then it’s real.. but I’m lying about it if I have it.. sooo) — so he spent the entire rest of the day (that I was with them) telling me how I was sick because I’m fat and I eat too much greasy junk food. He kept telling me I need to lose weight over and over again. He does this stupid shit to my mom too and I know it’s made her disordered eating even worse.
And I don’t know how to explain (to y’all) that I am not really “fat” without it seeming like I’m offended to be called “fat.” I just need people to understand just how much my father is a delusional fucking asshole. He says these things to me because he’s mean. Not because I’m actually fat. I [now] wear a juniors XL (and a women’s med/large) since I’ve lost a little bit of weight since this summer (stress related mostly)… but if you asked my father he’d tell you I was a “fat unhealthy whale.” Btw my parents are actually fat. Like, they’re plus sized people. And there is nothing wrong with that, and I would never comment about their weight in a negative way BUT damn.. the projecting they do onto others. They’re always making the rudest comments about people’s weight. And I really want to say “y’all are fat too, stop projecting and go to fucking therapy.”
Every time they come visit I need like 2 weeks to recover. They (mostly my father) seem like they’re dead set on re-traumatizing me every time I see them. And now they’re moving here. Yep. He’s retiring and moving here in the spring of 2023. My mom says she’s getting up there in age and wants to be close to me. Idk if I’ll be able to put up with this shit all the time. The 360+ miles between us is how they’ve managed to avoid me going “no contact” with them. Since my dad is deaf (and he doesn’t have my number to text me) I only speak to him 1-2 times a year when they visit. I won’t let them bully me or guilt trip me into letting them be more involved in my life if it means they’re gonna emotionally abuse me again. I don’t think I’d be able to handle that.
On a brighter note: My boyfriend took me to see RAW live last night and we had an amazing time! It was so much fun. We ate really expensive food (it was $13 for 3 chicken tenders and a few fries! Omg lol) and I screamed so much my voice is all crackly today lol. It was a great time. He’s already planning to take me to a comedy show in December.
And now I’m catching up on orders I’m behind on because of my parents visiting.
